Does anyone know a way to clear error E27 (ink absorber full) on
Canon MP190? I have cleaned the ink absorber. Turned the printer
off and on, using various code-clearing procedures online with no
success. E27 always returns.

Below are some steps I have tried with no success.

Thanks in advance.

Ink might have leaked down beneath the pads.

I'd remove them and let everything sit overnight to make sure the
area under the pads are all dry , then repeat the reset procedure.

I sometimes use Q-tips and 91% rubbing alcohol to clean out areas of
printers and would try cleaning out the holder for the ink pad and
squeezing ink out of the pad in an attempt to reuse it. I'm guessing
that the ink could be slightly conductive and there could be sensing
electrodes in the ink pad holder that could be covered with ink and
cleaning them could but the printer back in operation. ^_^
